Wyclef Jean Writes & Records 'Venus (I'm Ready)' for Venus Williams
Wyclef Jean has recorded a track for Venus Williams that will serve as theme music for the tennis player throughout her appearance at the U.S Open tennis tournament.
The track, entitled 'Venus (I’m Ready)’was recorded as a tribute to Williams who recently won a gold medal with her sister Serena in the women’s doubles at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
The recording came about after the pair met during the taping of a fourth season episode of 'Iconoclasts'.
Williams said "I was so happy to meet Wyclef and work with him on our 'Iconoclasts' episode but not even in my wildest imagination, did I expect that such a beautiful song would be one of the outcomes from meeting Wyclef.”
"He is an amazing human being and it is truly an honour for me to be recognized in such a wonderful way by such a gifted musician and exceptional person."

Hi HC Foo! I just read about this last night, but I actually heard the song just before Venus' match and I was wondering what that was. That's pretty special.
Thanks for the link, I'm going to download it now.
